The greatest challenge encountered by the food manufacturer is the loss of quality of food
products during storage, which eventually adds to the waste. Edible packaging is known as …

Starch is the most popular plant polysaccharides, which has been widely used for the
development of edible coating films because of its abundance, cost-effectiveness, and …

This research was set out to explore the development of arrowroot starch (AS) films using
glycerol (G) as plasticizer at the ratio of 15, 30, and 45%(w/w, starch basis) using solution …

The accumulation of plastic wastes in different environments has become a topic of major
concern over the past decades; therefore, technologies and strategies aimed at mitigating …

As of yet, disposal platforms for synthetic polymers have not matured in an environmentally
benign manner. Consequently, their wastes tend to remain as sources of pollution that …

In recent decades, the strong global concern on depletion of fossil fuel and the
